Natural Contest: BRAVE

The wild howling of wind traveling from faraway and the dimmed rays of starlight having a difficult time as they journey from beyond through obscales of natural making coincidentally declared their destination to be the blackened body of a frail naked creature peacefully communing with the pitch black earth in his sleep of great depth and unknown mysteries.

"Fu.k." Yes the first thing this figure did immediately after waking and opening his eyes to the light of the stars holding onto him was curse with a tone filled with great annoyance.

The sight that welcomed this figure as he struggled to his feet was one which seems to jump out of a fantastical imagination.

The trees unimaginably big and tall reaching the heavens with the dimension of the smallest a thousand times the tallest skyscraper ever built by man and the scarily tall black grasses reachng the sky with blades as sharp as the hero's sword rooted between the cracks and gaps of enormous pebbles that a human will call boulders.

The trees' enormous branches at the top, join hand in hand as they create several layers of canopy at different height and location above the ground which deliberately concealed the source of the rays of light that manage to escape through them and are now giving all the land below clarity.

Each of this canopies formed by this trees beyond a world tree spans several thousands of kilometers.

And their form mimicing pitch black clouds with glowing spots, reveal small gaps which allow the brilliant rays from heaven to shine through.

"Wow!, so beautiful, so quiet and so dangerous. I know this..., the smell of rotten wood and rusted iron."

The figure exclaimed then muttered after getting a convincing information of his current location.

"Fu.k, there is black mud all over my body and my butt for some reason stings badly"

The figure concluded after looking closely at his naked body that now stand on a large boulder coated with a thick layer of black muddy soil.

"Is this blood on my butt and tigh?" The figure muttered as his hand rubbed off a black dried dreg from his stinging butt which he carefully scrutinize.

After, the figure looked at the top corner at his right and saw a holographic symbol floating and flashing brightly indicating it wants his attention. He poked the symbol that look like the figure of a house which then stoped flashing and transform into an interactive message.

"So its the rumored status window, hmm, let's see."

The figure gaining an understanding of the situation muttered after which he poked the solitary word displayed.

Wait what's that... The figure thought as they panickedly crouched close to the ground behind one of the sky reaching grass for cover after they vaguely sensed a threat descend from another layer of ecosystem above.

The figure did their best to not attract the attention of the gigantic hideous bug-like black creature with four pair of red wings, a cluster of compound blood red eyes occupying the spaces on top of its face, a pair of metallic protuding fang reigning among a set of sharp rows of teeth coated in dripping saliva and the obtrusive radar-like antenna stuck on its head which it probably uses to scan the strata below as it fly from one point to the other erratically.

What's that guy after, i hope its not after me, ... ,wait, its returning to the middle strata above like its being pursued, is it scared of the cretures of the lower strata, or there is an agreement between the creatures of the higher strata, middle strata and lower strata not to interfere with one another, well, that's not possible, where are even the creatures of the lower strata, that should be here already, maybe they are taking their time, ... . The figure thought as they spy on the retreating predator.

The figure left their hiding spot, stretch their body and stand proudly in the open, between the giant grasses as they consume passionately with their eyes and spirit the menacing beauty of the nature surrounding them.

Fu.k something very dangerous is behind, ... . The figure thought as they took to their heels with an impossible speed, their mind and body in extreme focus on what chases behind them which made them become unaware of their surroundings and escape path but with a simple goal to escape the danger behind they ignore the little things even if they are receivng strange cuts, probably from the merciless blade of the grasses that did not even make contact with their body as they run past them.

The figure maintaining its top speed, occasionally jumping from pebbles to pebbles soon escaped the sea of grasses and find themselves in a large open something like a muddy beach or maybe not. His eyes as he continued on a straight line sprinting caught a weird large body of rushing water- a river with width in the thousands of kilometer and a large and tall mass of turbid turbulent water running from nowhere to somewhere with a speed faster than the speed of the fastest train conducted by it, block his path ahead.

The figure slowed down, paused and sat down with their butt on the muddy ground of the river bank and await a fate beyond their control as the path ahead is impossible to thread.

"Well, its just my first game over and i don't think i should be the only one in this mess."

The figure muttered and consoled themselves as a wave of relief washed over them.

A few seconds after, the figure received the revelation of its pursuer who hopped from the sea of grasses to his front in a flash, a herbivore looking carnivore, a giant black wild rabbit standing at about 7 meters on its hind leg with dark blue pupils that hide menacing glints and its long and large ears standing firm.

"Ehm, mr Rabbit, you see, my meat is very little and may not satisfy your belly, how about we work together and hunt bigger guys, ... , hey, please, mr Rabbit, have mercy..."

The figure mouthed in rapid fire as they raised their hand to cover their face in other to block the ferocious metallic claw of the big guy drooling like an idiot coming for their head.

After about two seconds, an eye peeked from between two hands and focused on the ferocious wild rabbit with a hand suspended in midair as it paused stunned with furs standing on end and an expression of panic and shock.

About a second later, the ferocious wild rabbit lowered its raised claw slowly and suddenly flee with a record hop in a direction along the river bank like a boy running from a psychopath, discarding his living dinner seated stunned and confused on the muddy ground.

"What the hell, is that guy scared of me, surely not, but why is it fleeing when i don't sense anything dangrous approach here"

The figure muttered as he tried to rationalize the rabbit's action.

While the figure contemplates, suddenly everywhere turned dark in an instant which happened due to a gigantic shadow that descended from above and blanketed everywhere.

Following the shadow was an ultimate silence and then a majestic creature of sight impossible to behold and who made their presence known to who knows by pausing their dignified stroll along the river bank and looking down to the side with an ineffable expression at who knows who.

The human figure sitting on the muddy ground became transfixed by the gaze of the enormous creature coming from a starry and enchanting eyes as big as the setting sun and as mysterious as the heavens.

The creature's hypnotizing and mesmerizing scent that probably originate from their fervent pink fur which glows warmly and contains sparkles like the cosmos dominated the senses of the figure below along with their remarkable alluring likeness superior to that seductive creature with a notorious reputation in tales and myths common on earth.

"Fu.k me, fu.k me, fu.k me..."

the human figure repeated loudly with a maniacal and fanatical laugh as they rolled on the muddy ground with one of their palms covering their face and the other on their belly, an act which this person will argue only fictional character will ever do.

This majestic creature with thought known to no one including the heavens continued their leisurely stroll after taking a longer look at the creature having a seizure below and also dragged their shadow behind with them, an act which exposed the arrogance of the heavens above as illumination return to the land

"Mum, dad, everyone, i think i understand why i am here."

The figure said and paused.

"Wow, so funny..."

They continued and chuckled after recovering from their uncontrollabe theatrics.

And for the first time they had a clear view of the stunning heaven with their occupants above and beyond all skies, the cosmic ocean.
